My only real comments on the kit itself for other buyers is that this is an older kit. Go in knowing this. If you're thinking about buying it and you don't have any experience with older kits research it. I'm not saying it's trash or I expect anything to be seriously wrong with it, but simply that the aesthetic qualities won't be as high and some articulation will be a little limited compared to the more modern perfect grades of today. Without some extra work it will appear very plain and possibly underwhelming if you aren't expecting this. If you've built or seen the original rx-78, Zaku, gp01, and Zeta prefect grades assembled straight out of box you'll understand. That said, this has one of the most impressive internal frames of the older kits by far and that's a major draw for me. I'm certain you could build this relatively quickly and do a minimal amount of extra work and it'd look absolutely amazing, but I think you'd be robbing yourself of allot of the experience. That said, this is something I'm going to take my time with obviously. I know it's not a short build, the hefty bags of screws and 800 parts kinds give that away. There is one objectively bad problem with the kit itself, sticker decals. I suggest you buy some replacement water slides regardless of what you intend to do.
If none of that bothers you then you should definitely check it out. It's expensive, so do your research, but if weathering, painting, adding custom decals, and good old fashion hand painted detailing is something that appeals to you, I think this is definitely a kit that'll interest you.
